The theme for this this year’s event is Food Insecurity in AAPI Communities, highlighting the issue’s impact on access to healthy, culturally relevant food. Event proceeds benefit this year’s beneficiary partner Thai Community Development Center.
The three local chapters of Project by Project in Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco select a local AAPI non-profit partner annually to develop a year long partnership to consult, raise awareness and funds. For the past 26 years, PbP has championed philanthropic endeavors and partnered with over 50 AAPI non-profits in the three local communities with outreach, public awareness, and fundraising efforts in 19 campaign themes – from mental health, domestic violence, sustainability, homelessness, to even voter engagement and education access. The annual tasting benefit is one of PbP-LA’s signature events of the year.
